The listing is at
http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip=70.103.162.31 (expires
in nine hours). It appears the machine sent mail to a spamtrap. It has
been listed five times in the last six months. I think that's worth
looking into. If it did indeed send mail to a spamtrap, the listing is
justified, even if it's rather inconvenient.
If that machine has become a target for spammers who would like to make
spamtraps useless (for example, taking any action that would send an
automated confirmation message from a high-volume server to a spamtrap
address), the answer is not to abandon SpamCop. Any DNSBL that uses
spamtraps is susceptible to this ploy. I'm willing to look into a
solution if nobody else is interested.
